Formatting Excel Cells in Power Automate Flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Using Power Automate Flow, (Not Desktop) when I create an Excel Document, is there any way to change the cell formatting for specific columns?

 

  • Column A - General
  • Column B - Percentage w/ 2 decimal places
  • Column C - Date
  • etc...

On the same vein of thought,

 

If I make an empty Excel file that has all the columns formatted like I want. Then use the flow to:

  • open the file
  • do a Save As
  • import a SharePoint List into the new Excel document

How do I keep the incoming data from reformatting the cell types?

    You will be using a template excel file for this task.  Put some data in the columns while open in Desktop,  then format the columns in Excel (Select Column).  Remove data and close template. When you add data using flow now it should be in the format that you wanted.
